Benefits of technology

[0021]Here, specifically, the organometallic complex having the structure represented by General Formula (G1) above is preferably an organometallic complex represented by General Formula (G4) below, in which case it can be easily synthesized.
[0039]According to one embodiment of the present invention, a novel organometallic complex which can emit phosphorescence can be provided by using an organic compound with which a variety of derivatives can be easily synthesized as a ligand. In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, an organometallic complex which exhibits red emission can be provided. Moreover, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a light-emitting element, a light-emitting device, an electronic device, and a lighting device in each of which an organometallic complex which exhibits red emission is included can be provided.

Problems solved by technology

However, the ground state of an ordinary organic compound is a singlet state; therefore, photoexcitation to a triplet excited state is forbidden transition and generation of a triplet excited molecule is difficult.

embodiment 1

[0075]In this embodiment, organometallic complexes each of which is one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0076]The m-alkoxyphenyl pyrazine derivative represented by General Formula (G0) below can be synthesized by a simple synthesis scheme described below. The m-alkoxyphenyl pyrazine derivative can be obtained, for example, by a reaction between a lithium compound of m-alkoxyaryl or a Grignard reagent of m-alkoxyaryl (A1) and a pyrazine compound (A2) as shown in Scheme (a) below. Alternatively, the m-alkoxyphenyl pyrazine derivative can be obtained by coupling of m-alkoxyphenyl boronic acid (A1′) and a halogenated pyrazine compound (A2′) as shown in Scheme (a′) below. Further alternatively, the m-alkoxyphenyl pyrazine derivative can be obtained by a reaction between diketone of m-alkoxyaryl (A1″) and diamine (A2″) as shown in Scheme (a″) below. Note that, in the formula, X represents a halogen element.

embodiment 2

[0097]In this embodiment, as one embodiment of the present invention, a light-emitting element in which an organometallic complex is used for a light-emitting layer will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

[0098]FIG. 1 illustrates a light-emitting element in which an EL layer 102 including a light-emitting layer 113 is interposed between a first electrode 101 and a second electrode 103. The light-emitting layer 113 contains the organometallic complex which is one embodiment of the present invention, which has been described in Embodiment 1.

[0099]By application of a voltage to such a light-emitting element, holes injected from the first electrode 101 side and electrons injected from the second electrode 103 side recombine in the light-emitting layer 113 to bring the organometallic complex into an excited state. Light is emitted when the organometallic complex in the excited state returns to the ground state. Thus, the organometallic complex which is one embodiment of the present in...

embodiment 3

[0132]The light-emitting element which is one embodiment of the present invention may include a plurality of light-emitting layers. A plurality of light-emitting layers are provided and light is emitted from each of the light-emitting layers, whereby emission in which plural types of light are mixed can be obtained. Thus, white light can be obtained, for example. In this embodiment, an embodiment of a light-emitting element including a plurality of light-emitting layers will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

[0133]In FIG. 2, an EL layer 202 including a first light-emitting layer 213 and a second light-emitting layer 215 is provided between a first electrode 201 and a second electrode 203. Emission in which light emitted from the first light-emitting layer 213 and light emitted from the second light-emitting layer 215 are mixed can be obtained. A separation layer 214 is preferably provided between the first light-emitting layer 213 and the second light-emitting layer 215.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an organometallic complex. In particular, the present invention relates to an organometallic complex that is capable of converting a triplet excited state into luminescence.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Organic compounds are brought into an excited state by the absorption of light. Through this excited state, various reactions (photochemical reactions) are caused in some cases, or luminescence is generated in some cases. Therefore, the organic compounds have a wide range of applications.[0005]As one example of the photochemical reactions, a reaction of singlet oxygen with an unsaturated organic molecule (oxygen addition) is known (refer to Non-Patent Document 1). Since the ground state of an oxygen molecule is a triplet state, oxygen in a singlet state (singlet oxygen) is not generated by direct photoexcitation. However, in the presence of another triplet excited molecule,...
